“To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.”

It can be quite difficult finding the necessary vegetarian products. therefore the author will share vegetarian products within the author capability that follow according to the 10 precepts , no five pungents foods, no meat, no egg, no alcohol, no tobacco and no milk . The author are unable to  provide 100% correct information as things always change (impermanency law) therefore reader are advised to take extra caution. This is also because the author personally face quite big obstacle karma related to vegetarian food. another issue the author face is although there are products which has label as vegetarian, the ingredients may not necessary are all vegetables. readers are advised to check whether reader are allergy to certain food ingredient and also whether it is harmful to health such as chemical product seasoning.

reason:
wine - one will lose wisdom. how many in this earth whose families is broken because of drinking alcohol.
vinegar - contain alcohol.
tobacco - it is believe to be a product coming from a female demon who wish destroy human,dragon and god cities. so those who inhale tobacco are likely to be more selfish and war are likely to happen.can also affect drinking supply as dragon is in charge of bringing rain around the area.
meat & egg - causes one lose compassion.got countless offense.and are likely to cause one to born in bad path including hell. also give bad body odour . and revenge between the meat eater and the animal will keep on repeating for many lifetimes (this lifetime you eat me, next lifetime it is my turn to eat you back and so on). and it is likely the meat one is currently eating could be one own family, relatives and friends in one past life.
milk & cheese- cheese is said to downgrade one thinking ability temporary. milk is because one will  owe karma debt to the animal and some consider it as under stealing (probably because the animal couldn't directly give permission that you can take their milk).
5 pungent foods such as garlic, onion, leeks, scallions and chives - the ghosts will stick to you 24 hours a day causing one lose the blessings (good fortune) one had accumulated. the good gods and good protectors will found one to be too stinky so they stay far away from one and the demon will find it as a good opportunity to attack and confuse one.
honey - the author haven't come to the conclusion about honey as honey seem to violate stealing precept (same as milk situation). however, in sutra record, buddhists had make offering to buddha with honey comb.
shallot - a type of onion.

hemp seed - although usually consider not as drug. but since it is coming from the cannabis plant and contain a small amount of THC, the author decide to keep this here as a reminder of possible violating the no taking intoxicating food precepts. 

not in author vegetarian food product ban list
ginger (not in this ban list) - this may be prohibit for certain buddhist center is because ginger has the properties of heat which causes one easily get angry after eating it .In buddhism, ignorance, greed and anger are the main 3 poisons. therefore the author will not include this in the ban list.
